Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to absorb.
Add the ground beef, Italian sausage, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and parsley (if using) to the breadcrumb mixture.
Using clean hands, gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan, shaping it into an even loaf if on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
